Motivation is unreliable. Discipline isn’t.In this solo episode of The Big Lad Podcast, I break down the myth of motivation and explain why discipline will always outperform inspiration when it comes to personal growth, mental health, and long-term success.We’re constantly told to “wait until we feel motivated” — but what if that advice is keeping us stuck? Drawing from stoic philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and real-world experience, this episode explores why motivation fades, how discipline is built, and why consistent action matters more than fleeting inspiration.In this episode, you’ll learn:➡️ Why motivation is emotional and inconsistent➡️ How discipline creates confidence and self-trust➡️ The stoic approach to effort, discomfort, and control➡️Why action creates motivation — not the other way around➡️How discipline can support mental health, not harm it➡️Practical tools to build discipline even on bad daysThis episode is for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, unmotivated, or tired of starting over.🎧 Listen now and ask yourself:Who could you become if you stopped waiting to feel ready?📲 *Join the Big Lad Mailing List* for exclusive content & early access: https://mailchi.mp/799f9d66ee7f/the-big-lad-podcast*My Instagram* - https://instagram.com/gw_fit*The Big Lad Podcast* - https://instagram.com/thebigladpodcast*Substack* - https://substack.com/@thebigladpodcast*Neutonic* - https://www.neutonic.com/?sca_ref=9779609.7usx9KEZn4hy&utm_source=uppromote&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=263773*Twitter*: https://twitter.com/gw_fit96*MyProtein*: https://prf.hn/l/6neGLNlGWFIT for 37% offChapters00:00 The Myth of Motivation01:20 Understanding Discipline03:45 The Role of Stoicism05:49 Action Over Motivation06:26 Understanding Cognitive Dissonance and Self-Image07:06 The Role of Discipline in Personal Growth08:21 The Power of Consistency and Implementation Intentions#discipline #disciplineequalsfreedom #disciplineovermotivation
